bias current ?'s

[sakellogg]

cool, i will do some research.
I'm not going to pretend i understand all of that..... i do understand "chicks dig it" just not my wife.
she loves your amps, don't get me wrong. she stands over them quite often in her pj's to warm up. she doesn't care about sound quality with what she calls music.

thank you.

Lol, this is part of the WAF in class A amps

it's better without pj's

and big fur like carpet , surrounded with hot amps

..... speaking of that - who needs a woman - just imagine lazy sunday , with pile of cartoons and bottle of wine

Wine should be stocked outside the listening room, in order to have proper degustation temperature

Best,

Build the amp big enough so she can go inside.....

while you are reading cartoons

P.S. big enough amp reminds me on - kitchen

Also, chicks dig it.

Sorry for interruption, but I am going to try some laterals in the F4/BA today and have been thinking on the issue of current and voltage as it applies to distortion. From what has been said more current leads to more trans-conductance and less distortion, is the same true for voltage. from what i have seen from FW pdf's, both seem to play a role. Also, doesn't capacitance play a role and shouldn't we be looking for linearity there as well.

What would be the recommended max watts you would run a TO-220 device at? Thanks!

15W for a 75W device.
